Kids often ask for retakes… my computer froze, my internet stopped working, my little brother turned my computer off… my dog ate my homework… so how do you assess in an online environment.1. Take all the questions you got wrong and do one of the following: a. Write a short paragraph on each one explaining what the correct answer is and why. You can collect outside resources (websites, books) to help you support your answer. b. Create a powerpoint, prezi, or other multimedia presentation with the same information. Include 1 slide for each incorrect answer. You can add pictures and weblinks here to help you make your answer richer! c. You can create your own jeopardy game with the questions/ answers as long as you include good definitions and explanations of what is the correct answer. You can find this at: http://jeopardylabs.com/ d. record a podcast or screencast explaining each question, their correct answer with supporting evidence and the list of resources you used to master this content.
